You *can't* do just *one* thing. That's the whole problem. You need to
do *several* things if it is going to work at all. 

 jb> @REPLYADDR jim.barchuk@f355.n141.z1.worldnet.att.net

 jb> -What- is -that-? There is no such user anywhere on the planet.

That's a fairly standard way of kludging things to let mail for *other*
sites go thru yours. So you have several config lines *badly* messed
up. 

For one thing, you've told it that *your* system is "worldnet.att.com".
Remember, it is designed to handle Internet mail, which means that your
system *must* have its *own* address, different from that of the system
you are getting mail from.

It needs a bunch of EMS RAM. Windows needs to be *forced* to supply
that. 

Ok, let's take this one step at a time. What's your system's internet
address? And what is the address of the system you are exchanging
*Internet* format mail with?

I begin to suspect that what you need is not what you are asking for.
You're asking for a FidoInternet format converter. But I'm beginning
to suspect that you actually need a PegasusFido converter. Which is
likely a very different thing.
